Evidence
(How it Works)

How it Works:

Calcium supports more than bone health. Almost every cell in the body uses calcium in some way, including “soft tissues” like muscles, nerves, and the immune system.*

Muscle Relax*† provides an easily absorbed form of calcium lactate in a 5 to 1 ratio with magnesium citrate, plus the added benefit of zinc gluconate. This combination helps replenish calcium lost from soft tissue to exertion, stress, and excessive sun exposure. It provides support for a variety of body systems and is the perfect formula for anyone with a busy life, or who spends a lot of time outdoors, including children.*

Calcium Lactate:  In a clinical study, calcium lactate supported muscle tissue and efficient exchange of oxygen to muscle tissue. Compared to placebo, it support athletic performance by 17% compared to the placebo group.1

It has been recommended for over 50 years as a supportive ingredient for a variety of muscle-related concerns, including muscle cramps due to exercise or overuse.*2,3

Magnesium: Magnesium is essential for the proper muscle contraction and relaxing, the immune system, and cellular energy. In studies with endurance athletes, magnesium was shown to be an important factor for muscle function.* 4-6

Zinc:  Zinc is critical for helping the body maintain glutathione levels, and helps protect cells from oxidative damage. It is also an important factor for immune system health.*7-9

Muscle Relax can help relieve occasional muscle cramps due to exercise or overuse, help legs rest and relax at night, and support a healthy respiratory system.*
